Basic/Clinical Science Session

Large Genomic and Multi-Omic Datasets to Inform Kidney Biology and Diseases

October 25, 2024 | 02:00 PM - 04:00 PM

Location: Room 2, Convention Center

Session Description

Improved computational tools, availability of large medical biobanks, cohorts from clinical diagnostic laboratories, and longitudinal collection of phenotype-specific cohorts have yielded unprecedented power to both detect new causes or risk factors for kidney diseases. This session highlights exemplars leading to unexpected phenotypes, genes, and genetic risk that contribute to pathology.

Learning Objective(s)

  • Summarize studies that combine the use genetic information with other omics data to understand kidney diseases
  • Discuss the use of medical biobanks in genetic studies
  • Define phenotype expansion in the context of established genetic kidney diseases
  • Explain the derivation and uses of polygenic risk scores

Learning Pathway(s)

  • Genetic Diseases and Development
